View up Stoneham Street from Market Hill (detail). A huge enlargement of 101/25 - the whole original is only 140mm across.
Important though because it shows milk being delivered. You can see the milk churn on the small cart; people had their own containers and the milkman would dip a metal jug into the churn to serve a measured amount. The 'dipping' jugs were cylindrical with a straight handle ending in a hook which was hung from a rail inside the churn. There were usually two; a one pint and a half pint. Vic Lawrence remembers the milkman used to sing out, yodel or whistle to get attention as he came to the door. Cows were milked at a dairy off Church Street so were regularly seen walking through the town on their way to and from the dairy.
